Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışma, bilim haritalama yöntemi kullanılarak ortopedik bilimlerde ateşli silah yaralanmalarıyla ilgili araştırma eğilimlerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ateşli silah yaralanmaları, kemik ve yumuşak dokuya verdiği ciddi hasarlar nedeniyle ortopedik travmada önemli zorluklar oluşturmaktadır. Bu bibliyometrik analiz, alanın evrimini, etkisini ve temel araştırma temalarını incelemeyi hedeflemektedir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada bibliyometrik ve kesitsel bir araştırma tasarımı benimsenmiş olup, Web of Science (WoS) veritabanı kullanılmıştır. 2024 yılına kadar yayımlanmış toplam 658 makale analize dahil edilmiştir. Bibliyometrik teknikler (eşzamanlı kullanım, eş-atıf ve iş birliği ağ analizleri) Bibliometrix ve VOSviewer yazılımları kullanılarak uygulanmış; araştırma eğilimleri, önde gelen yazarlar ve tematik yapılar görselleştirilmiştir.
Bulgular ve Sonuç: Ortopedik bilimlerde ateşli silah yaralanmaları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar yıllık %9,02 oranında artış göstermektedir. Yaygın araştırma konuları arasında ateşli silah kaynaklı kırıklar, enfeksiyon yönetimi ve cerrahi müdahaleler bulunmaktadır. Atıf analizleri, ortopedik travma ve askeri tıp alanında önemli katkıları ortaya koymuştur. İş birliği analizleri, uluslararası araştırma katılımının sınırlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Tematik sınıflandırmalar, motor temalar (örn. "ateşli silah yaralanması", "ampütasyon"), niş temalar (örn. "vasküler yaralanma") ve yükselen konular (örn. "artroskopi") olarak belirlenmiştir. Enfeksiyon önleme, omurilik yaralanmalarının rehabilitasyonu ve cerrahi yenilikler konularında daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, araştırma eğilimlerine dair yapılandırılmış bir genel bakış sunarak gelecekteki ortopedik ve travma ile ilgili araştırmalara rehberlik edecek önemli içgörüler sağlamaktadır.

Studies on gunshot wound in the orthopedic science by science mapping method

Öz

Background and Aim: This study analyzes research trends on gunshot wounds in orthopedic science using the science mapping method. Gunshot wounds pose significant challenges in orthopedic trauma due to severe bone and soft tissue damage. This bibliometric analysis aims to examine the evolution, impact, and key themes in this field.
Material and Method: A bibliometric, cross-sectional research design was employed using the Web of Science (WoS) database. A total of 658 articles published up to 2024 were included. Bibliometric techniques such as co-occurrence, co-citation, and collaboration network analyses were applied using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to visualize research trends, key contributors, and thematic structures.
Results and Conclusion: Research on gunshot wounds in orthopedics has grown steadily, with an annual increase of 9.02%. Frequent topics include firearm-related fractures, infection management, and surgical interventions. Citation analysis highlights key contributions in orthopedic trauma and battlefield medicine, with military medical centers leading research output. Collaboration analysis reveals limited international engagement. Thematic classification identified motor themes (e.g., "firearm injury," "amputation"), niche themes (e.g., "vascular injury"), and emerging topics (e.g., "arthroscopy"). Expanding interdisciplinary collaboration and further research on infection prevention, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, and surgical advancements are needed. This study provides a structured overview of research trends, offering insights for future orthopedic and trauma-related investigations.
